Saintly Scenes: Lazio

Set within two hectares of land, this charming country home offers some peace and tranquility just outside of Rome. Showcasing a little rustic style, you can expect wooden floors, ceiling beams and stone walls, creating a cosy ambiance throughout. The most impressive part of this home is perhaps the garden, which has fragrant flowers and plenty of green space for the whole family to stretch out. Relax on a sun lounger with a cup of coffee or play with the kids on the playground and trampoline, there's something for everyone here. If you fancy getting out and about, there are some beautiful hiking and biking trails in the area, plus the town of Rocca di Papa itself which houses many beautiful churches.

However you spend your time, you'll always have a relaxing retreat to return to. Whip up rustic Italian feasts in the outdoor kitchen, thanks to a wood-burning oven and barbecue. The pergola is the perfect place to dine alfresco on warm evenings, before heading back indoors to get comfy by the open fireplace.
